To say that people do something to or for themselves, you use reflexive verbs. For example, washing one's hands and brushing one's hair are reflexive actions because the person doing the action also receives the action.
Ex. Yo me ducho. (I shower myself)
Each pronoun corresponds to a different subject. Reflexive verbs end in the letters 'se'.
Example: Lavarse
When you want to say an action was performed on someone else you can use the reflexive pronouns below (in purple).
Example if you wanted to say: We hug eachother. = Nos abrazamos.
*Remember reflexive pronouns are object pronouns not subject pronouns*

Reflexive verbs are used to describe an action being performed on oneself. A verb is reflexive when the subject and object are the same.
As an infinitive, reflexive verbs end in -se. for example, to wash in present tense is lavar. In reflexive, it is lavarse
